Rory has just turned 12 and it has been an exciting time. He was interviewed for priesthood a couple of weeks before his birthday as we had stake conference the week before his birthday. He was excited to be getting the priesthood but found it hard having to wait all that time between the interview and actually getting the priesthood.
A couple of days before he was ordained I had someone ask me how I felt about having another priesthood holder in the home. I had never even thought of it like that. Until that point my son was just going up to Young Mens. I all of a sudden wondered if I had prepared him enough for the responsibilities of the priesthood.
Here are a couple of photo of the day.

We also had the opportunity to take him to the temple to do baptisms in the temple last Wednesday. We had some family there with us but we had also invited Rory friends at Church to come. Rory is the youngest of his friends so it made it possible to do this. It meant the whole Deacon's quorum was at the temple together. His quorum president wanted to watch Rory doing baptisms which meant he had to be quick at getting changed. Rory loved being at the temple and wanted to continue doing work there. The three boys were all excited at the end and were trying to find out how many times a week they could go. I'm so glad we had invited Rory's friends and he could have that spiritual experience with them. Sorry but I forgot to take a picture at the temple. Maybe I will remember next time.

That's so awesome!! Thanks for sharing :) I can't possibly know entirely how you feel about preparing Rory for this, but I can understand to some degree... I feel that way simply about sending Michael out to kindy next year!!
